Nice design, but critically flawed [Posted on 2006-12-29] Attached to 21" widescreen LCD and liked it at first glance. Really like the components and feel of hardware, feels very sturdy.
However, after using for a couple days, I have found several flaws:
- Lag bolts are not strong. I had to move from my original location and one of two lag heads stripped.
- Screen not level in all positions. Weight of LCD caused the screen to fall out of level when moved to the right and slightly when moved to the left. This could be corrected by a rotate hing, but none exists.
- Locks on arm don't provide appropriate locking tension.
The leveling issue is the most impacting and really makes this monitor arm useless in some positions. I am returning this arm and ordering a similar product (premier AM2) and will compare features.
Fantastic Product [Posted on 2007-03-12] Very easy to install and one of the best wall mounts on the market.
Sanus mount not up to snuff [Posted on 2007-07-09] This mount looked good on paper. It was rated fo the weight and size of my LCD TV, a Sony 26" model. I drilled holes in my wall, screwed it to the wall, and then mounted the TV, which was extremely hard to do, since you must hold the TV in position while attaching the set to the wall. After all this, it was incapable of keeping the TV from rotating downward from the lack of a tight enough joint.
The good news was that Amazon gave me my money back. Amazon 5 stars. Sanus 1 star. I since have bought a much better mount that was actually cheaper and much easier to install. It held the weight no problem.
tilt not strong enough [Posted on 2007-11-11] Like others have said the tilt tension is not strong enough to hold the lcd up. It just tilts forward. I tried tightening it up, I am 6" 3" 280 lbs it can not get tighter and it still just falls forward. I wish I would have read these reviews earlier.
Worth much more than it cost [Posted on 2007-11-22] This Sanus System VM3 VisionMount LCD Wall Mount is an incredible invention. The TV is 20 inch model weighing 18 pounds and the mount handled it perfectly. I put a little vasoline on the pivot points and it moved even easier. It is such a flexible device that I was able to eliminate the purchase of another TV for the master bedroom because I found a way to mount the TV using the Sanus mount so I could not only see the TV in the master bath (the primary reason I bought it and the TV) but also by swinging out the device, to be able to clearly see the TV from the master bedroom. Can't say enough good things about this device that I have used for the past 4 weeks. I am now contemplating the purchase of a 20 inch TV for the office and can't imagine using anything but the Sanus VM3. Amazon price was nearly 1/2 what Best Buy wanted at walk in store and the shipping was free. Did I say I was happy with the product ??!!??
